About the Item

Antique Golden Eagle Bird Lithograph, Royal Natural History, 1895 A striking antique bird lithograph depicting the majestic Golden Eagle, originally published in London in 1895 as part of the celebrated natural history work The Royal Natural History, edited by the eminent zoologist Richard Lydekker. This important late 19th-century publication is renowned for its combination of scientific rigor and beautifully executed illustrations, making it one of the most desirable decorative natural history series of its time. The print was drawn by P.J. Smit, a highly regarded natural history artist known for his refined draughtsmanship and ability to capture both the anatomical power and lifelike character of animals. In this composition, the golden eagle is shown in a dramatic mountainous landscape, poised with outstretched talons, while a second bird is depicted in flight with prey. The scene conveys both movement and narrative, illustrating the eagle’s role as a dominant predator in rugged alpine terrain. The rich brown plumage of the eagle is rendered with remarkable detail, while the soft atmospheric background of mountains and sky provides depth and contrast. The composition balances naturalistic observation with a painterly quality, making it both scientifically informative and highly decorative. The horizontal format and strong subject make this print particularly impactful when displayed on its own, and it also pairs well with other plates from the same series. This lithograph is an excellent example of late 19th-century natural history illustration, offering both visual appeal and historical significance. It is well suited for collectors of ornithological prints as well as for interior designers seeking a bold yet refined focal piece. Note: This print is an original antique work and not a reproduction. It is offered unframed. Any frame shown is for presentation purposes only. Condition report: Overall in good condition for its age, with gentle age toning to the paper and minor spotting in the margins. Light handling wear. The image remains clean with strong detail and color. Please review the image carefully. Framing tips: This print works beautifully in a dark walnut or ebonized frame with a generous ivory mat to emphasize its tonal depth. Its horizontal composition makes it ideal above a desk, console, or sofa, where it can serve as a strong focal point. Technique: Chromolithograph Maker: P.J. Smit, published in London, 1895
